The Overtime Claims Unit came into existence in July 2000 to deal with claims arising from the Young v. State of Oregon lawsuit. The essence of the lawsuit: an oversight in writing the laws pertaining to employees classified as exempt (not due overtime for extra hours worked). The State became liable for overtime hours worked by these employees during a 26 month period, July 1995 to August 1997.
After a review of the situation, the Risk Management Division decided the most cost-effective method of handling the claims was to set up a temporary unit, the OT Claims Unit. The unit will exist until all claims are processed.
